Drake R-4C Spares

Please Note:

I am not selling any of the spares that are listed here, this is really only for my reference in the rebuilding of Drake Equipment. It is blummin hard enough to find any good spares here in the UK, especially, with way too many people thinking that this old stuff should be selling for stupidly high amounts of various selling platforms.

THERE ARE A LOT OF UNKNOWNS HERE – HELP WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED.

This was a very sad case, and the only available option here was to strip down for spares, it was covered in think cigarette tar as you will see in some photos, on top of this it was a heavily modded to the point where it was no longer a Drake as such. It was truly beyond economical care.
